A46987909719A251FF3CFD7CFECFC85E.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name is derived from ‘ Sahyadri’, the vernacular name for Western Ghats, where the type was collected. The name is treated as a noun in apposition.	en	Sudhin, Puthoor Pattammal, Sen, Souvik, Jäger, Peter (2023): Taxonomic notes on the nursery-web spider genus Dendrolycosa Doleschall, 1859 (Araneae: Pisauridae) from India, with the description of a new species. Zootaxa 5353 (1): 67-74, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5353.1.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5353.1.4
A46987909719A251FF3CFD7CFECFC85E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male copulatory organ of Dendrolycosa sahyadriensis spec. nov. is most similar to that of Dendrolycosa bairdi Jäger, 2011 in having a slender distal apophysis, with pointed tip retrolaterad and situated in 1: 30 - o’clock-position, triangular median apophysis with wide membranous base, and conductor and embolus in same position and with similar shape. It can be distinguished by the RTA narrower and without bent dorsal tip, conductor pointed apically, and tegular part extending prolaterally beyond cymbial margin situated at widest part of cymbium (cf. Figs 2 B – C, 3 A – B, with Jäger 2011: figs 84 – 85). The female genitalia of Dendrolycosa sahyadriensis spec. nov. is most similar to that of Dendrolycosa cruciata (Roewer, 1955), from which it can be easily distinguished by the long and prominent spermathecal heads, which almost reach the anterior margin of the internal duct system (cf. Figs 2 D – E, 3 C – D, Jäger 2011: figs 30 – 31). Notes. According to available illustrations of other Indian congeners, this new species is not conspecific with either of them. Although illustrations are poor, the large head of spermathecae and the palpal conformation cannot be seen in any of the two other species.	en	Sudhin, Puthoor Pattammal, Sen, Souvik, Jäger, Peter (2023): Taxonomic notes on the nursery-web spider genus Dendrolycosa Doleschall, 1859 (Araneae: Pisauridae) from India, with the description of a new species.

A4698790971CA251FF3CFA18FD4DCDDE.taxon	discussion	Remarks. D. bobbiliensis was described based on a single female specimen collected from Bobbili, Andhra Pradesh, and was not recollected or more properly described or illustrated after its original description. We were unable to trace the type specimen in the National Zoological Collection of ZSI, even though the author mentioned that the type would be deposited there. The textual description and the drawings might help to identify conspecific specimens collected close to the type locality (Reddy & Patel 1993: figs 1 – 6; Jäger 2011: figs 39 – 40). Hence, we refrain from proposing this name as nomen dubium.	en	Sudhin, Puthoor Pattammal, Sen, Souvik, Jäger, Peter (2023): Taxonomic notes on the nursery-web spider genus Dendrolycosa Doleschall, 1859 (Araneae: Pisauridae) from India, with the description of a new species.

A4698790971DA253FF3CFF3AFCCFCF07.taxon	description	Description. See Tikader, 1970. Notes. Tikader (1970) described this species based on female specimens collected from Darjeeling, West Bengal. The ZSI collection has two jars with this species. One contains the holotype, and the other contains four paratype specimens, all in good condition but all five subadult females (Figs 4 A – C). Detailed examinations of all the available specimens revealed that no characters of the copulatory organs can be identified. Therefore, its validity needs to be confirmed with new samples of adult specimens collected from the type locality. Subsequent descriptions of adult males and females by Sen et al. (2015) and Dhali et al. (2017) are not considered adequate, since the drawings are not suitable for recognising details of the respective copulatory organs. We were not able to examine and illustrate this material, since it was not sent on our request.	en	Sudhin, Puthoor Pattammal, Sen, Souvik, Jäger, Peter (2023): Taxonomic notes on the nursery-web spider genus Dendrolycosa Doleschall, 1859 (Araneae: Pisauridae) from India, with the description of a new species.
